In El Paso Texas, a US judge has begun hearing the deportation case of Luis Posada Carriles–the Cuban exile who is wanted in Venezuela for the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner killing 73 people. Posada recently snuck into the United States and is now seeking asylum. Posada is a CIA-trained operative who has been connected to several attacks on Fidel Castro and other Cuban interests. On Monday the chief of the Organization of American States — Jose Miguel Insulza — said that the U.S. should extradite Posada if there is evidence of links to the 1976 bombing. Meanwhile the presiding judge warned Posada that he would seek deportation to Venezuela if he had entered the United States illegally.
